I am 52 have been in menopause for 2 years or so. 5 months ago the symptoms got to me & I went to my GP who did a blood test confirming menopause. He prescribed me Estalis Continuous patches which helped with the mood swings & night sweats. A week or so after starting HRT I began to spot, then full on bleeding. The info I was provided with said bleeding may happen so I wasn't worried. The bleeding is into its 5 month with light days, heavy days & some days it's stops but most days bleeding happens. The days I don't bleed I have a white thin discharge that's almost as bad as the bleeding. I went back to my GP who referred me to an ob-gyn. I also have pain like ovulation pain in my right ovary during the days I bleed. Plus bloating, abdo pain & now right groin lymph nodes have swollen into lumps. They hurt for 2 weeks & they stopped hurting. I can still feel the hard lumps. I had a wait to get in to the ob-gyn almost 3 months. I have now been but found I have more questions than answers. My cervical test came back normal, my ovaries normal, my endometrium has thickened & he suggested a d & c. He said I could have polyps or fibroids & he will be checking for cancer. Now I'm waiting on surgery. Not sure when it will be but he said sooner rather than later. I'm not a person who panics easily but I'm thinking most likely the patches are causing the problems. I think they are the highest dose 250?. Has anyone gone through something similar or anyone think maybe I'm too relaxed about this. Apologies for the long post x
